Eli Hirsch

Eli Hirsch (born 1938) is an American philosopher and the Charles Goldman Professor of Philosophy at Brandeis University.[1]

He is best known for his work in meta-ontology. He coined the phrase "soft ontology" and has authored over 70 books and papers. Many of his books deal with objections to ontology based upon common sense and that most disputes involving metaphysical objects revolve around linguistics and are merely verbal in nature.

Hirsch received a Ph.D. and M.A. from NYU, and a B.A. from CUNY Brooklyn College.[1]

He is the brother of rabbi Moshe Hillel Hirsh.
